Title: Data Recovery Also known as: DataRecovery
Type: Spyware
Severity scale:  (72 / 100)
 

Data Recovery is a rogue computer optimization program that displays fake critical security errors and reports registry, hard drive problems that do not even exist. It’s not the first of its kind but this fake application may seriously compromise your privacy and restrict access to various application and files. It’s a clone and System Recovery scam. Data Recovery runs a fake system scan and states that your computer has hard drive and RAM problems. It displays fake alerts claming that you can lose your important data anfd files if you won’t fix the supposed problems immediately. That’s a typical scam used to scare users into thinking that their computers are infected and to “push” bogus software to fix the problems. Data Recovery is distributed via hacked websites and fake virus scanners. If you manged to infect your PC with this fake computer optimization program you’ll notice that right away. The rogue program will hide shortcuts and make your Dekstop black. It will also hide other files on your computer to make you think that there are some serious hard drive failures. You will have to unhide those files manually. Also, do not delete files from Windows temp folder. Data Recovery copies certain files to %Temp%\smtmp folder and if you remove those files, you’ve have to run Windows recovery disk because there is no other way to restore system shortcuts and files. To make the removal procedure easier, you can active the rogue program using this code: 1203978628012489708290478989147. Once you activate it, hidden files will be restored and you will be able to download anti-spyware programs without any problems. We recommend Spyware Doctor. Some of the messages that will randomly be displayed are:
